Análise da mobilidade articular através do hurdle step : análise biomecânica vs. pontuação do functional movement screen

Abstract

Objectives This work had two objectives: 1) to perform a systematic review about Functional Movement Screen’s (FMS) capacity to evaluate articular mobility and stability; 2) to carry out a cross-sectional and observational study that evaluates the association between Hurdle Step’s scores and biomechanical data related to articular mobility in this test. Methods A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The evidence was searched and identified on the 9th of January 2022 consulting the electronic databases MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete and SportDiscus. The observacional study included 25 students (21 men) from Faculty of Physical Education and Sports, Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, Lisbon, Portugal, aged 22,1 ± 1,8 years. Three-dimensional movement analyses were conducted during the execution of Hurdle Step in order to acquire biomechanical data related to articular mobility. These executions were filmed in the frontal and sagittal plane, so that it was possible to score the executions afterwards. Results The systematic review pointed to contradictory results regarding FMS capacity to evaluate articular mobility and stability, i.e., 31 of the included articles refered that FMS presents the capacity to evaluate these parameters and 19 articles refered that FMS does not present that capacity. The observational study suggested that there are no significant differences between scores (2 and 3 points) concerning articular mobility of the hip, knee and ankle.

Hurdle Step was not able to differenciate subjects with different scores regarding articular mobility, i.e., Hurdle Step did not present discriminant validity.
